Today the Israel Lobby Archive releases declassified Justice Department documents that shed light on how US based covert operatives for Israel obtain near complete prosecutorial immunity.

After leaving the OSS , Nahum Bernstein quickly deployed his covert operations skills for Israelby forming front organizations to smuggle arms and wire-tap opponents in the United States. Mastermind Bernstein escaped the felony charges and prison sentences awaiting lower level operatives through his prosecutorial immunity networkwhich stretched from New York City police officers on his payroll, his District Attorney law partner, up to the President of the United States (through associate Abraham Feinberg).

In recent years there has been an increasing number of incidents involving attempts by foreign governments, or their agents, to influence the conduct of American foreign policy by techniques outside normal diplomatic channels…there have been occasions when representatives of other governments have been privately accused of engaging in covert activities within the United States and elsewhere, for the purpose of influencing United States Policy (the Lavon Affair).

Fulbright’s committee focused on averting future repeats of such operations as an Israeli false flag terrorist attack on US facilities in Egypt (Operation Susannah) about which few Americans had ever heard. His committee’s investigation into the Israel lobby ultimately forced the reconstitution of the American Zionist Council into AIPAC.

Today the possibility of Israeli false flag attacks and operations geared to influence policy have triggered growing American suspicion about pretexts for the Iraq war such as “Niger yellowcake” affair and the current “Iranian Used Car-Cartel” assassination plot. Fulbright’s warning is both timely, prescient and informative.
